That's absurd.  What makes an Associate Degree so important?  I've been doing 
histology for 20 years without that piece of paper...and a darned good job, 
too.  

What makes people think that a 2 year degree, a 4 year degree or even an 
master's degree can make a skilled employee and a solid worker?  We've taken 
the ASCP test and have proven ourselves.  That should be good enough.  Who's 
great idea was it to diminish that by requiring a random number of college 
credits?
